The 2023 Valli Vineyards Bendigo Vineyard Pinot Noir Half Bottle (375ml) is a powerful and deeply expressive single-vineyard Pinot Noir from Bendigo in Central Otago, presented in the particularly convenient half-bottle format. Valli was founded by pioneering Central Otago winemaker Grant Taylor, with each of its single-vineyard Pinot Noirs designed to capture the personality of a specific subregion. The Bendigo vineyard produces one of the richest and most structured wines in the range, with its elevated position helping preserve freshness despite Bendigo’s naturally warmer conditions. The 2023 opens with blackberry, dark cherry and plum alongside lily, sweet pea, rosemary, birch and dark chocolate.
